It uniquely identifies the object in the repository's object database
that corresponds to the commit I wanted to reference. You can just do:

  % git show fd3a55f78b1e316727760a92dcd3f0759013549c

…to take a look at it.

You actually don't need the entire hash-sum. A unique prefix for the
repository in question would suffice. For example:

  % git show fd3a55f
